Alec B 02/26/2024 The fantastic lead performance aside I think the movie suffers from having just about every member of the supporting cast of characters wind up being just as cruel as you imagine they will be.

A great many people live entirely alone, unvisited, and unwanted, living day in and day out in small rooms, without company or friends."</b></i> Margaret Ross imagines in her paranoid fantasies of being the daughter of an aristocracy and everything else happening around her, including the dripping of a leaking faucet and the silence of the radio. She reports them regularly to the police who scoff at her behind her back. Who are the Whisperers? In the title they are referred as the creatures that the old lady imagines. Her routine is shattered irrevocably by a brief fling with stolen money ending dismally in the gutter where the poor prey on the poor. Released on July 31, 1967, <i>The Whisperers</i> appealed to me recently when I was looking for titles dealing with the loneliest of women on film. And as I watched the entirety of it it was like the storyline went slowly for me while trying to understand what was going on here. I wondered if, for example, the dripping faucet is a metaphor for something that I was looking for or something random so I just stared at it. Yet I liked the movie for its nomination for Best Foreign Film at the Golden Globes and its black and white picture quality that really gives the English setting a really dull look. And dullness is good only on a really sad but cool movie, right? Dame Edith Evans does her acting performance on her leading character that she is very poor in style and very fearful in personality both of which worked well. <div style="width:333px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-whisperers1967-12497527"><img src="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/12/49/75/12497527_gal.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">Flixster</a> - Share Movies</div></div> Overall, I wish I've seen better but I can still say that <i>The Whisperers</i> is an okay film about loneliness even in old age. Worth watching if you like the old black and white stuff or anything from England. See more Read all reviews
